Narration: Required

In 60 words or less, write a script about you and your outfit to aid the scriptwriter. Please emphasize fashion trends, not a detailed description of your outfit. Following are two examples of the kind of script envisioned:

After inventorying her wardrobe, Jane Smith, of Joy County, decided khaki pants and a fashionable top would be good additions to her closet. Jane purchased her khaki pants on sale, for a $15 savings. The navy top was reduced to 50% off the original price. Both pieces will add zest to Jane’s school time wardrobe.

Paul Prince of Palace County couldn’t pass up this navy suit he discovered on sale for 40% off. This sophisticated navy suit is made of 100% wool. The tailored fit is perfect for this high school senior, who will be a starter on his basketball team in November.
